The Pop in My Job
Schaeffler Lifetime Solutions is like a Startup in in a big Corporate Flagship. I love about my role, that I have a real impact on our business growth.
The real pop in my job is that there are no boundaries or blueprint (other than tax and legal). Every case is individual, as every company has a unique culture and value. Synergies can only unfold fully, when I find the sweet spot of both companies and make this work as part of a bigger puzzle.
